Michael Brüggemann

Based in Frankfurt, I advise national and international clients with regard to German tax law.

I advise our clients on a wide range of German tax law issues, with a specific focus on inbound structuring as well as transaction-driven advice.

A particular focus of my consulting work, especially until the change in the law, was the application for large numbers of exemption certificates for the so-called register cases. Despite the need for this advice having been resolved for a large number of clients since the change in the law, I am happy to provide advice to those who still need it.

I am also happy to advise shareholders who are planning to move out of Germany and who are facing taxation of their shares in accordance with Section 6 of the Foreign Tax Act (AStG), from the planning stage through to implementation.

In my previous work, I was able to acquire a high degree of expertise regarding advice on the establishment, implementation or also termination of fiscal unities and I am available to our clients in the event of any corresponding need for advice.
